Zombies of the Gene Pool by Sharyn McCrumb

2.0

In the end this book and its companion 'Bimbos of the Death Sun' is a counter voice to the ascendancy of fandom. These are books that are deeply ambivalent about an engaged audience. Fan is fanatical. Personally I find the narrator's voice too caustic, like that friend that rips everyone else down when you are talking with them - but the second you leave you know they'll be doing the same to you. Not person you really want to hang out with, but interesting to have encountered.

I enjoyed this book less than Bimbos because I was more interested in the convention setting of the last book - while this book seemed more bleak with the narrator looking down on aged authors and fans - shaking its head and judging harshly all it saw.
